"It is a unique tradition that we have in Sussex County and we are the only county in the nation with Return Day and with the burying of the hatchet as part of it and it is a symbolic gesture to bring healing and help us come to gather together and move forward," said Rieley

The people came out to watch marching bands that were performing in the Parade. There were also floats and of course candidates in cars.Nataleigh Robertson said the floats are really fun to check out.
